We have a fantastic show for you this month with a show by three
artists who work with feminine/natural imagery.

Amy Sol is white hot right now, with her paintings of dreamy, fantastical worlds populated by girls and their animal companions. Her soft graphic imagery on wood is complimented by a unique color palette, customized by Amy (she mixes all her paints from scratch) to further increase a sense of enigmatic mystery to the "stories" in each painting.

Stella Im Hultberg paints romantic yet edgy women who vacillate between innocence and sultriness, set off by her lanky, sharp line-work contrasted by soft watercolors. This show will feature a departure for Stella, with the introduction of several paintings on canvas, as well as on paper. There will be a limited edition print of "Sometimes" (pictured right) available at the opening. This edition of 50 giclee on paper prints will be offered for those attending the opening night party.

Oksana Badrak creates lush pop imagery using a blend of digital technology topped by meticulously hand painted elements. Firs creating digital environments, Oksana then takes the organic creatures in her work and paints them in oil in high detail. This adds to the dichotomy found in her work with the uneasy coexistence of man made technology and the natural world. (She also just did the cover of KEXP's new cd)


In addition, because it's the end of summer, ALREADY, we will have a mini exhibit of exquisite and humorous drawings by our gal Femke Heimstra from a series called "Heatwave" depicting the trials and tribulations of summertime. We will be offering original graphite drawings as well as a print series made from the drawings and then digitally colored. These are offered individually or as a special print set!
